Scott, Most Excellent Attorney

My first and only visit with Scott in his office along with his associate Chris, took the burden off of my shoulders as I was pro se initially. He gave me confidence and help along the way. In a very short time, he had the case against me dismissed. The petitioner's attorney was so convinced by Scott... that his case was without merit. Therefore, the petitioner's attorney sent a motion to dismiss with prejudice, which means, that the petitioner cannot come back against me with the same issue. Scott always and quickly responded to questions that I had via email or the phone. He was so helpful and when I needed to pursue what I wanted to do, he counseled us correctly and I was so at ease and at peace with his counsel. We have nothing but good things to say about him including Christ and Becky.

The Best out of 4

After 10 years, 4 Attorneys and many legal battles Scott Weight settled an ongoing dispute with my former. He knew how to work with a Judge driven case where previous orders were made by a Commissioner and Special Master. It was a tough case - no dought about it. I was a little unsure after working w...ith other Attorneys on the QDRO but he talked about it with me and the opposing Attorneys and Petitioner to get things settled. Also, I had given-up on a portion of the settlement but with his further review and argument the Court sided in our favor. If you are thinking about a complex situation or starting-out talk with him. You may be surprised in a good way. Don't give-up if you feel you still have rights.

  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
